I've heard that an attempt is going to be made to revive or replace the
defunct Legends mailing list, but until that happens, I'd like to see
a return to exchanging information on Legends through this forum.

Speaking of information, I just got the new issue of Strategic Reserve,
and was *not* happy.  The stated purpose of that little publication was
to get players up to speed on the intricacies of Legends -- a valuable
service, considering how complicated the game system is.  But with one
minor exception, this issue was devoted to gaming in general, rather
than Legends in particular.

I also had occasion to talk to Carl on the phone (trouble with my turn),
and found out that the GM who'd told me that some of the rivers were
navigable had been telling me a literal but useless truth.  The only
provinces through which a fleet can move are those whose terrains are
*water* or *coastal*.  So yes, you can move a fleet down a river, but
only provided the river runs through a lake, sea, or coastal province.
Those rivers shown on the Realm map, linking the lakes and the oceans,
turn out to have no strategic value. :-(

I took the opportunity to ask him about the NIC module, and received a
reply along the lines of "if we get the color separation this week, then
we'll be able to send it to the printer next week, and we'll be able to
send it out in October."

(I am *really* irritated about those rivers.)
